Thanks for the info, Nick. I wasn't sure why they lost it. I had heard
financial reasons and building maintenance reasons but both of those were
from someone who heard it from someone. Wish I had visited it last November
when I was up there.

The Boston Aquarium is called the New England Aquarium and you're right, it
is nice. It is very similiar to the National Aquarium in Baltimore since
NAIB was built by the same architects. It is the aquarium that started the
big surge in aquarium buildings around the world. And Chip, they did loose
their AZA status, although it wasn't for husbandry reasons, it had to do
with some financial issues that were a bit obscure.
